Portable radios

Portable radios include simple transistor radios that are typically monoaural and receive the AM, FM, and/or short wave broadcast bands. FM, and often AM, radios are sometimes included as a feature of portable DVD/CD, MP3 CD, and USB key players, as well as cassette player/recorders.
AM/FM stereo car radios can be a separate dashboard mounted component or a feature of in car entertainment systems.
A Boombox (or Boom-box)—also sometimes known as a Ghettoblaster or a Jambox, or (in parts of Europe) as a "radio-cassette"—is a name given to larger portable stereo systems capable of playing radio stations and recorded music, often at a high level of volume.
Self-powered portable radios, such as clockwork radios are used in developing nations or as part of an emergency preparedness kit.[2]
